Maybe this is better for ya? lol

I finally got unlazy with it, and got the laser out to measure them out (if they were uneven, I would have been upset about it.. lol)

k now the finish the job by putting the other two behind you. :)

ok finally got everything up and running and got some pics.
tell me what u think.

first off. this is the computer i upgraded from:



this is my new upgrade:

bought this case off ebay for 20 dollars shipped. came complete with 4 years of dust buildup. i spend over 2 hours cleaning. i even threw the entire case in the bath tub.


(secret hiding place for cables. DONT TELL N E ONE)




But i think the best part is that i was able to get rid of my old computer's cooling solution!!!

:runaway: :runaway:

lol @ the last pic... i had friends that had to do that with their pc's. Works great.. but looks a little ghetto... nice going with the new rig:D

Awsome upgrade!

My ghetto DIY active cooling for the RAM made from the fan of the stock Intel HSF stuck between the mobo and the tray while resting on the fan on the CPU heatsink. :lol:

DIY, Nice :up:.

Is that the Crucial Ballistix thats has blue lights also?

lol 3 fans near the RAM... doesnt it have a lifetime warantee so you dont have to worry if it overheats?

Yep, Ballistix Tracer with blue ground effect LEDs. :cool:

Yeah, I think they come with lifetime warranty but I don't like the prospect of having down time while waiting for replacement parts. The two 12cm fans you see are actually blowing away from the RAM so I don't think they can actually cool the RAM. Also, I live in Hong Kong where it's mofo hot during the summer months and I fold 24/7 on this rig. I figured that a bit of extra cooling for the RAM won't hurt. :lol:

You must have missed the part where my stands were getting in the way, so I removed them from the stands and put them on the desk, and finally got around to putting them on the wall. lol

The Cpt. - You stole my secret cable hiding spot!

Junglist - nice :up: keep it cool

VW - :lol:

SSXeon - thanks! It will be even better when I get paid and can buy a new PSU to get running again...

So heres all the new stuff I bought + the new lcd (my first, no more crt). I think my cable management is ok, but since I'm still using IDE for my dvd drive it really kinda created a block. Never the less here you go:

r un own crak mang!?! nvnews in your pic!!?!

I just noticed that, oh teh irony (since I didn't post these pics there). Alas it is the place I go to for driver updates nowadays :(

Nice clerick nice rig! Can u give me some CD-Rs. :D :lol:

Updated setup; current location workstation...
 

MX518 ftw. Personally i don't think I could ever use the lcd in that kind mode o_O.
They aren't CD-r's, they are DVD-R double layer for 360 keyboard driving :bleh:

for FS clean all your damn fans, change your furnace filter..

Youve seen nothing yet, ill take a pic next time of my work place fan...havent cleaned for 4 yrs...

That's called Rage3D browsing mode. :yep::up:

:lol: :lol:
IMHO thats not too bad considering the length of time its been since it was last cleaned.... (NEVER! :evil: )

Dont think I posted a pic of my whole desktop area, just computer shots... nothing special and Im too lazy to clean the wires at the bottom of my desk:bleh:

Nice setup, but omg clean those wires feed them down the poles errr somethin :P

And throw some crap all over your desk. You are way too neat!

I hate you, i want that monitor! What kind is it? Its a dell i see, and im talking about the one to the left that you made go sideways. SOOOOO sweet!

AHHH :lol:

Nice rigs guys keep em coming!

looks like a 2007FPW to me

thanx, thats the 1440x900 res one right? Like 19" 16:10s?

2007 FPW & 2407 FPW

2007 on left, its in 1050x1680 vertical right now. If it was horizontal it would
be 1680x1050, its 20 inch, 16:10

O wow. Thanx man, and nice freaken monitors. I really hate u. :lol: Ima invest in that dell because i want to also play 360 @ 1920x1080, even tho it would be nice to have a native res for the 24"s. Cant wait to get that XFPS. :lol: :lol: :evil: :lol: The other one is just sick, but i couldnt afford 2 new monitors. Freaken sick setup dude. YOU BASTARD. ;)

no, as MFAC says:
The dell model number is the size and year - 20" '07 and then the shape FP = flat panel, W is widescreen. I have a 2007FPW at work, it's very nice.
